Steve is such an eloquent talented man. He is a chameleon, of the league of David Bowie.

[@sratus]

Nah

[@bankruptbritain6103]

TrainInVain I think that's sarcasm.....

[@sratus]

Mick Donalds I don't think so sadly

[@ursie1986]

I hate to bring "him" up, but Steve must've gleaned a few nuggets for Partridge material from this chap. "I think [glove puppets] are quite clever. I saw them with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir before!"

[@cvsdigital]

'He looks bored' ...no he doesn't!....'interviewer sucks'...no he doesn't....'Steve Allen asking the shittiest most boring questions ever.'....no he isn't - his questions are intelligent, controlled and measured. One of the best, relaxed, interviews with Steve Coogan I've seen.

[@bankruptbritain6103]

cvsdigital and Steve 'saw the Muppets with the Mormon tabernacle choir' must have blown Coogan's mind the mere thought of it....

[@teodelfuego]

Thank you! I really don't understand the negativity of some of these comments.

[@samuelshoesmith]

Love, love, love, love!

[@podfunk]

Bouncing Back!

[@robertjsmith]

Chris Evans has let him-self go

[@dickweeeeeeeeeed]

ha ha...he`s been at the cheese...

[@Flipmode1900]

Him-self?

[@theknowerandtheknown]

I was born in 75 and feel i grew up in the last part of a classic time in British history were the country was more of a community then it could ever be again

[@actionjaxon7570]

Do you think thatcherism had a part in that

[@theknowerandtheknown]

@@actionjaxon7570 I can't answer that definitively but I can vaguely remember events like the Royal Jubilee where the entire street had a street party together. There wasn't a general feeling of guilt about the past or someone to tell you that you should feel bad about it. Whatever kings, Queens and governments do around the world, almost every time, has nothing to do with its people. Back in the day people loved England because it was our/is our home.

[@youngathon]

What a funny story , heh , he, ha what a funny story lol he he ........ News !

[@krell2130]

I wonder who got the power pack

[@glasshalffull8471]

Stretch It Out......I've been 49 going on 4 year's now.I haven't been called on it yet,in fact I'm getting more questioning it from the other way around.

[@comanchio1976]

You mean they were asking if you were really 94?🤔

[@gedrooney9305]

I, Coogan

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Dear LBC please stop cranking up the bass on your mics. It makes it sound horrible and booming.

[@mikethemusicman1978]

+koopification This might be the raw feed direct from the desk to the camera.. they wouldn't need to input the feed to the camera via the compressors.

[@jtpinnyc]

Only Coogan's voice sounded boomy, which leads me to believe that either they're using different mics or Coogan just has a naturally bassy voice.

[@basehead617]

NPR started that terrible shit.

[@mikethemusicman1978]

@@jtpinnyc Steve just naturally has a bassy deep voice, and the feed is taken from the main outputs which includes all the processing, so that's why it sounds the way it does.

[@jaredford8440]

Very funny crunt....

[@Studeb]

Bet one of the reasons he doesn't want to write an autobiography is that people would like to know about him knobbing Courtney Love and Owen Wilson trying to kill himself. Shit, I'd buy it for those subjects alone.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Yes what was all that about?

[@LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

Steve Coogan looks in great shape....Steve needs to go on a crash diet.....being overweight in your 60s is not good.

[@Jackferrett6781]

LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1 He's in his 50s

[@bankruptbritain6103]

Andrew Garfield he's 99

[@edrooney9580]

He's 53

[@youngathon]

Steve " now you wanted world peace an harmony to all but you also bought an Astin Martin " - " Aw fuck off Son and by the way Magnum PI was never that popular ! "

[@diegopisfil614]

Elvis Presley's vibes

[@shrimpoffthebarbie]

An 11 year old wanting an Aston Martin? Coogan was already 50 at 11. When was the last time you saw a man with hair driving one?

[@vincentmooch8589]

Jealous undertones with everything this interviewer says.

[@komoleeray687]

what an awful interviewer ..clichéd, uninteresting questions..someone like Steve Coogan needs an interviewer who at least can show some intellectual agility to bring out the best of him...even Coogan looks bored

[@bankruptbritain6103]

Komo Lee Ray Coogan's thinking; has my life reached this terrible low?

[@SuperFerdie1965]

Coogan is marginally less interesting than Partridge.

[@benphilips9605]

Another self-righteous celebrity atheist. Why can't these people be grateful?

[@Intiom]

+Ben Philips For what?

[@ursie1986]

+Ben Philips Grateful for what? Your superior ignorance? Fuck right off!

Uh? Who isn't an atheist in the 21st century?

[@MrDarhoe]

Alan Partridge is as good as Basil Fawltey

[@merseydave1]

What a humble guy with immense talent drawing from his upbringing and influences ... he has a good social outlook and academic intelligence ... a decent guy.

[@Phantomrasberryblowe]

Eddie Murray His a total waste of space what?

[@jupitorious7925]

A comic genius, unlike the unbearable Gervais

[@HughRaine]

He really doesn't get Steve's point about the glove puppet, does he?

[@HughRaine]

I came into the comments to write the same thing a year later... AND THERE I WAS.

[@rainblaze.]

Yeah what TF was that about? Steve just sort of kept talking and finding his own serious points to elaborate on, which i found really admirable

[@mikewellwood1412]

Goodness - not seen this side of Steve Coogan before. I knew he was clever and funny. Now I can see he is likeable as well.

[@ItWasAlrightInThe1980s]

🤔You're Steve Coogan, using a false name. 🤨So obvious Steve 🙄

[@Lefty__18]

His voice sweet jesus

[@An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

Liquid audio.

[@jtpinnyc]

What the fuck are these people watching who say this is a bad interview or that the interviewer is crap. This is a great interview and the interviewer does a fine job. It's the job of an interviewer to get the interviewee talking and steer the conversation toward interesting things and this is exactly what he does.

[@loshora]

I like the interview! Relaxed and honest comments. Showing his serious side😘

[@paulec2634]

It's miles better than the Amanda Holden interview. This one is interesting.

[@sratus]

Interview by Wally Banter

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

like coogan on's partridge's Norfolk nights radio show ..life imitates art

[@suncity22001]

im a little let down one of my hero's, steve coogan - didnt write his biography by himself.

[@jtpinnyc]

Yes he did, he was just helped with the structure and layout.

[@teodelfuego]

You mean "autobiography," and from the interview, it appears he did write it himself with assistance

[@ZER0--]

I was hoping the book would be called "Bouncing Back".

[@oliverb6313]

And came with a free toblerone. I don't mean a small one, I mean a medium-sized one.

[@ianinkster2261]

well spotted

[@ryanbrownnew]

Not strictly true about the monty python tapes.. what they did was make VHS copies and took those away.

[@Abc-yt3el]

Got to say i enjoyed both Philomena and Sheppard and Butcher. Two totally different films

[@bridgetgaskell9135]

Recommend the book.

[@frankjames4573]

Is this book being pulped yet?

[@oliverb6313]

*IT LOOKS LIKE PORRIDGE*

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Might have been turned into furniture at a women's shelter. Giving back to the community.

[@SaxonFraser]

He looks just like Alan Partridge

[@MrDarhoe]

Steve Coogan is one of the funniest men alive but he looks like he's been in rehab and found out he hates his Irish roots!,he could be just bored in the interview also

[@jamescarr4662]

What on earth are you talking you tedious person

[@dudinhaveloso1908]

vc è lindo

[@oohJakez]

Steve like many of is generation who were born into a lower middle class family desire to be working class. Why?

[@edrooney9580]

Because the middle class are pawns of the upper class..also the majority of people are lower class...its normal to want to fit in with the majority

[@rainblaze.]

He doesn't. It's an affectation in order to be liked by the greater "lumpenpolatairiot" ie his audience. He probably doesn't even vote labour either in real life either (there used to be a sitcom about a luvvie who lived in mansion and publicly supported labour but secretly voted tory, he, to me, could be him) If given choice do you really think these people would have wanted to grow up on a council estate in Liverpool or Manchester? Not having his continental holidays, and not having the opertunities and security that this type of upbringing brings, would have meant he would have been less likely to have ever gone on to drama collage and had the career he has had which afforded him his multiple asten martins. Someone who drives AM's is not ashamed of being austantacious about aboyt the fact, he is most certainly not working class.

[@annoyingbstard9407]

Just another luvvie.

[@MartinHiggins1972]

The greatest comedic performer of his generation and the next.

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

he's like the gay Alan partridge..really though

[@johnnyp9205]

You can use names I mean your on LBC Nice one uncle Steve see you on Sunday

[@DJTomOke]

I love Coogan, but I have to say he's not a brilliant straight actor.
